  • Abstract:
  • Anorthosites are distinctive among igneous rocks due to their high plagioclase feldspar content. The Chimalpahad layered anorthosite at the border zone of Archean supracrustal rocks of Khammam Schist Belt (KSB) and Eastern Ghats shows normal stratification predominantly in the form of rhythmic layering and sometimes in the form of zebra layering. The massive anorthosites show mineral lineation which indicates deformation in the KSB. The study area samples were collected from the field along the fresh outcrops. Megascopic study reveals that colors are light grey to dark layered in nature and grain size is coarse essentials minerals are Plagioclase, Hornblende, Feldspars and anorthite, accessory minerals.
